That's conservation of mass (it's related, but different), in a _very_ basic nutshell. The problems (with conservation of energy, especially) start when people try to apply it inappropriately (usually having to do with not understanding how to define the boundaries of the system in question).

It's shorter than Harry Potter, and I'm sure you've read that (or you're the only teenager in North America who hasn't).
It's even split up into bite-size pieces. 66, in fact. Couple of hours a day, you'll be done in about a month, and you'll know the Bible better than most Christians (that really ticks them off).

And what you posted were assertions, not evidence.

...The internet is nobodies property, really...

Nobody owns the whole thing, but all the pieces that make it up all belong to someone. Even if a space (like this one) is rented vs. owned, the tenant has property rights, enforceable by law.

It's easy to avoid getting banned here (I'm over four years here, as an avowed [some would say rabid] atheist). Be polite, make sense, if someone tells you to go read something to cure your ignorance, do it, and don't post gay porn. Face-slappingly DUH obvious, but you'd be amazed how many refuse to get it.

Good to know you're so open-minded.

How do you know you disagree with it IF YOU'VE NEVER READ IT?
Do NOT rely on what other people tell you is in there, everyone who wants to has an agenda (and it's usually not about your best interest).

Life (and death) are what happens while you're busy with your "plan".
